What Smithtown homes usually need
Smithtown has a lot of well-kept family homes from the last half of the century. Many are due for a second round of updates.
-
A lower level that isn't pulling its weight
The downstairs of a high ranch, or an unfinished basement, used for storage and not much else.
We turn it into a family room, office or guest space with walls, ceiling and floors.
-
Kitchens that need a refresh
Cabinets that sag, doors that don't line up and a backsplash from another decade.
We install new cabinets level and square, then tile the backsplash.
-
Floors that don't match room to room
Carpet in one room, old tile in the next and worn wood in the hall.
One run of vinyl plank or tile ties the floor plan together.
-
Tired trim and doors
Original hollow doors, dented baseboard and casing with gaps.
New doors and trim, installed tight and painted.

Working in Smithtown
Smithtown is its own town, west of us, and known locally for the Bull statue. From our base in Medford, it’s a straight drive and well within our range. We take on full renovations and smaller jobs throughout the area.
Most of the houses we see here are family homes: capes, high ranches, center-hall colonials, split-levels and some ranches, often on good-sized lots. They were built well, and many owners have lived in them a long time. What they need now is a round of updates that makes the house work for the next stretch.
High ranch lower levels
In a high ranch, the lower level can be the best space in the house or the worst. Often it’s paneled, dark and has a stained ceiling. We strip it back, fix what’s behind the walls, put up new sheetrock and add either a drop ceiling (a grid with tiles that lift out) or a smooth sheetrock ceiling. With new flooring and trim, it becomes a room people actually use.
Kitchens without a full gut
Not every kitchen needs to be torn out. Sometimes the layout works and it’s the cabinets, backsplash and floor that are worn. We install new cabinets level and square, tile the backsplash and lay new flooring. Because one crew does all of it, the pieces fit together and nobody is waiting on another trade.
Floors that run through
Houses from this era often have a patchwork of floors. Running one floor through the main level, whether vinyl plank or tile, makes the house feel bigger and more put together. We prep the subfloor first so the new floor sits flat.
Permits
Projects like a finished basement or new framing usually need a permit. Check with the Town of Smithtown building department, or your incorporated village if you’re in one.
Bedrooms and dens
When kids move out, a bedroom often becomes an office, a guest room or a den. Those rooms usually need the same things: patched and painted walls, a smooth ceiling, new doors and trim, a closet that works and a new floor. We handle the whole room with one crew, from the first wall patch to the last coat of paint. If the closet is cramped, we can reframe it or add shelving so it actually holds what you need. If you want built-in shelves or a desk along one wall, we build and install those too, so the room is ready to use when we leave.
Getting your price
The size of the space, the materials you choose and the condition of the walls and floors drive the price. We give you a written, itemized price with a start date and how long the job will take before we start. Call 631-745-9982.
Smithtown renovation questions
Is Smithtown in your service area?
Yes. Smithtown is well within our range from our base in Medford.
Do I need a permit to finish my basement in Smithtown?
Finishing a basement usually involves permits, especially with new framing, electrical or a bedroom. Smithtown is its own town, so check with the Town of Smithtown building department, or your incorporated village if you're in one.
Can you redo the downstairs of my high ranch?
Yes. We often open up the space, put up new sheetrock, add a ceiling that looks clean and lay flooring that handles being partly below grade.
Do you install cabinets I bought myself?
Yes. We can install cabinets you've already ordered. We check the walls and floor first so they go in level and the doors line up.
